Spain or South of France in July 2017?

Hello! I Am thinking of travelling for 3 weeks in July in europe. Weather wise i am confused weather i should travel to the south of france or spain? Spain would include- barcelona, madrid, seville, granada etc. South of france would include cote d azur, provence etc. will spain be too hot for mid july or is south of france a better option?

Your call. Sevilla would be too hot for me at that time --

and IMO, 3 weeks isn't really enough for Barcelona, Madrid, and Andalusia.

Good weather everywhere.
I remember one july on cote d'azur when it was so hot we had to keep jumping into the swimming pool to refresh ourselves.
I had also some rosé from a cubi, and it was refreshing too. One jump, one glass ! I jumped too many times...

They will both be hot (Spain hotter than France typically) and crowded.

And let's not forget the humidity in Provence during the summer, unless you're sitting on the coast!

I spent a month in the south of France in July 2015. It was so hot and humid, I lost 10 lbs. even eating all the foie gras and drinking all the wine that I wanted!
